screenrc question

I've set up a .screenrc on some of my servers. When I use this the vi editor doesn't work the same way and some of the keys on my keyboard don't work. Like the Backspace and Delete key. Can someone explain why this happens and maybe how to fix it? I'm using RedHat and Fedora if that makes a difference

It is not the solution.

But i never use, Backspace or Delete when i am inside vi.

Delete - x in ESC mode

Backspace - X in ESC mode.
